"Next!" shouted Sherlock irritably, as another client was telling their story about how they think their husband is having an affair with another woman.

As that client left Sherlock complained to his small, blonde blogger - John Watson, "It's always the same old, boring stories. Affairs, dating ghosts, loosing things. Why can't we have someone different? Someone who has a different story to tell."

Just as Sherlock finished complaining to John another client walked in. Her face was as pale as a ghost, her dark brown hair was all tangled as if she had been dragged through a bush and she had mascara stains underneath her eyes. It looked as though she had no sleep for the past week - she looked terribly ill.

"Sit down in this chair," said John to the woman, "and tell us your name."

"My name is Katie." mumbled the woman.

"And tell us what is your problem?"

"I-I keep getting these weird messages on my phone a-and I don't know who they're off. I haven't been able to sleep for 5 days because of them - they worry me sick." Katie then began to burst into tears, mascara running down her face like a waterfall.

"What do the messages say?" asked Sherlock, intrigued in this client.

"Well the first one said '"Say goodbye to your precious world"' so I thought it was just kids messing around and I texted back "'Who is this? Stop playing stupid games!"' and then they sent back "'Your dog means so much to you, doesn't he? Then I suggest you help me otherwise your dog will be found dead in a week's time"' and I got really freaked out at that moment" Katie paused for a bit.

"Did they text anything else after that?" Asked John.

"Yes I had to do a job for them in the morning and ever since then I still keep getting messages."

"What was the job?"

"I had to take an envelope to this man named Sebastian however he wasn't in so I posted it through his letterbox and then left and headed straight home. I haven't left the house since and I've kept my dog, Jacob next to me 24/7 and I've had no sleep whatsoever."

Sherlock's eyes turned wide. He stared into mid-air for about 5 minutes then eventually said "Did you say Sebastian?"

"Yes," said Katie confused.

"John," Sherlock said seriously "I think Moriarty is back and if he is, he is more powerful than ever!"
